I am disgusted. Though if I hadnt been reading this thread it would have gone over my head. The mandate part is a clear jab at Bush.
I muted the TV when Ron came on. I expected something dumb from him and I didn't even want to hear it.
Would Kerry ever act or claim any "mandate" from God?
Seriously...
They all are their father's children.
All can speak and it was beautiful.
That is a gift!
Good Bye President Reagan!
We loved you!
Today, at the Cathedral, it was fitting for a president.
Tonight, on that canyon, it is fitting for a husband and father.
graduated to paper towel
Because Ron P. is a liberal .. aka .. A kerry supporter
They are carrying him away.
I stood up as well. It's a beautiful flag.
One of the hardest things I ever did was walk away from my parents caskets at the grave side. I was there when both of them died respectively. I knew they weren't really there but leaving them behind was awful.
God Bless Nancy, her children and the USA.
It pains me that Ronald Reagan's adopted son is more worthy of being his father's namesake than the child he bore with Nancy Reagan.
Being a ditto is never good, but it's especially grueling when you have to live up to the reputation of a father like Ronald Reagan Sr.
I don't believe that his son has ever earned the respect that's connoted with that name.
While Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Barry Goldwater, et. al., may have had sons who did not quite live up to expectations, I don't think that any of them fell so far as the first biological son of Ronald Reagan.
I think that the old Eisenhower joke about appointing Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court is apt in this situation.
Hey Spec!
I'd read that he was mostly mediocre at his various careers.
Hope not. :)
I may have been overreacting, but read the posts from about 1800 on to read what some of us saw and then decide for yourself.
Is Ron Jr. running for something? Hmmmmmm?
"Amazing Grace"
..something Ron lacked...and he was doing decent till then...he sounds like Keith Carradine as a narrator.
well, it's his dad....guess he can say what he wants...even if tacky.
Patti did well enough....still a bit new agey but she has progressed from hippie chick.
Michael exudes earnestness about his daddy...hard to watch.
<< "Divine Responsibility"...a dig at the Right >>
A classless dig at the Right, which has poured deserved adoration and respect on his father, and heartfelt condolences and love on his mother and the kids, all week.
I've never heard anything that would suggest he "got" what his Dad was about.
